Low force helical-60 (LFH-60) video connector
Some models come with a digital video interface (DVI) connector for connecting a
digital monitor. If you have problems viewing information with a second monitor, see
the User’s Guide on the IBM Documentation CD.
Models with the NVIDIA Quadro4 980XGL, NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000, or NVIDIA
Quadro FX 3000 video adapter come with a DVI-I to VGA style analog converter for
each DVI-I connector.
Attention: To get the best performance from the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000 and
NVIDIA FX 3000 video adapters, you must connect the video adapter to the
computer power supply. Otherwise, the video adapter will be operating with very
limited power, resulting in a decrease in performance for some applications. You will
need to use one of the disk drive power drops to connect the video adapter to the
computer power supply. This means that when you install this video adapter in your
computer, you have one less power drop for optional internal devices. The following
illustration shows the location of the video adapter power connector:
Models with the NVIDIA Quadro4 280NVS or NVIDIA Quadro4 580XGL video
adapter come with a low force helical-60 (LFH-60) to dual-analog monitor pigtail
cable. If you want to set up two digital monitors, you will need to purchase a
separate dual-digital monitor cable.
